]]> Last week I foretold the beginning of the end of the Brian Kelly era. Several people on Twitter and HLS strongly disagreed. Hey, it happens!

The Irish got exactly what they needed on Saturday with a convincing win over Nevada. While I don’t think Nevada is a great team, any win on Saturday was welcome. I would also argue that Nevada is akin to a victory over a top MAC program as the Wolf Pack have been in a bowl game the last two seasons. It is also a much higher quality game than the FCS opponents that dot other top programs’ schedules.

WHAT LIES AHEAD

Saturday night in prime time the Michigan State Spartans come calling along with their No. 12 ranking. This is yet another game in prime time against a top tier opponent. The Spartans have won the Big 10 championship in two of the last three seasons and also were a College Football Playoff qualifier last season. The Spartans also return 12 starters.

However, Sparty did not exactly look unbeatable in their opener. They led Furman 21-13 in the fourth quarter before finally putting the Paladins away 28-13 in the first week. As bad as the loss to Texas was, the Irish could completely change their situation with a win over Michigan State. A win on Saturday night arguably puts the Irish back in the playoff picture. A win over Michigan State and Notre Dame likely heads into the Stanford game at 5-1.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO WIN

At that point, they need Stanford and Miami to keep winning. It also wouldn’t hurt to have USC go on a run after their opening game debacle at Alabama. The climb for Notre Dame is high largely because of the remaining schedule. That being said, the early forecast for this college football season looks particularly stormy, which clearly puts a ton on the line Saturday night.

A loss here, the playoff is done and it is hard to see even a New Year’s 6 bowl. Additionally, another loss in prime time would likely derail any momentum that DeShone Kizer has been building for a Heisman trophy run. It will be interesting to see how much the defense has progressed since Texas.

I hate to sound overly optimistic. But each time I watch Kizer play, I’m more convinced that he is one of those rare players that gives you a shot to win regardless of the opponent every time he takes the field. Regardless of our defense at this point, because of DeShone Kizer, I’m confident heading into Saturday night.

In this week’s #HLSRecap, Irish fans express frustration at the team’s slow start on offense, despair about losing cornerback Shaun Crawford to a torn Achilles, and jubilation over not sweating a game’s outcome after halftime. Here is the Irish’s 39-1o win through the eyes of fans who lived through it on Twitter.

After a sluggish first quarter, the Irish pull away from the Wolf Pack at Notre Dame Stadium. Here’s a collection of the best tweets during the game.

Hello, how ’bout that ride in from week one–THAT WE WILL TRY TO FORGET AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

So, yeah, last week was UGLY. There’s really no sugar-coating it, so we are just going to move the hell on. The form for this week is below and you can find all rules within. Bonus points, standings, staff picks, and cat picks will all follow.

Bonus Points

Legend has it the great Davy Crockett once said, “You can go to hell, I’m going to Texas.” Little know fact though is that that is only half the quote. The full quote was, “You can go to hell, I’m going to Texas with these drunk Irish lads and we are going to kick some ass.”

Yes, shortly thereafter Mr. Crockett had his arse handed to him my the Mexican Army, but lucky for the Irish this weekend there is no Mexican Army, just a longhorn. And dang it, longhorn is good eating.

So go Irish. Do it for Davy. Beat Longhorns. – Davie Dave

Legend also has it that Texas was indeed hell for all of us Sunday night. Point awarded for the solid Davy Crockett quote.

Notre Dame will Run the Damn Ball – IrishMann313

We did. A lot. We still lost. Dammit. Point awarded because, well…you weren’t wrong.

Pain – Otter2008

Point for brutal accuracy, Mr. T.

The purple faced Brian Kelly returns – Irish Randall’s

To be fair, he needed to return when ONE OF HIS PLAYERS GOT DECAPITATED WITH NO F’N FLAG. POINT FOR BEING SO MAD ONLINE.

Hall of Shame

Google has this thing called time stamps. Some people think they can sneak in a “prediction” after the fact and have it fly. These are those people. I had very little mercy.

Brendan Irish Boy – You came in so late, yet got everything so wrong. I actually feel bad for you because I think you watched this on DVR at some point and were very, very shocked. I’m going to give you 1 point for everything you got right (Kizer starting) and -1 point for everything you got wrong. Total: -3 points.

Mjl – I’m assuming you smacked your head on your keyboard for joining dumb fun and games so late. Congrats, you got everything right and scored quite well! Bad news! Your defense is run by BVG and you gave up 50 points. Total: -44 points.

Your moms cat – Not only are you going to get the BVG “bonus” like above, but I’m also awarding -1 point for everything you got wrong (Zaire starting) and for every typo you had. My mom may not have a cat, but if she did, it would be my mom’s cat and I’m not sure how there can be a “2 it game” in football (-2 total from the grammar police). Total: -48 points.

Look, I lash out not because I love but because I’m still pissed we lost. I’m sure you understand. If not, enter this week under a different name and I’ll be none the wiser!

Standings

HLS Picks

Cat Picks

Gulliver is off to a solid 0-1 start both straight up and against the spread. Let’s see if the furball gets it wrong again this week:

Yeah, he better be 0-2 or this is going to be one hell of a long season.
